Description

A narrowband image of the Rosette Nebula taken from my back yard. Imaged for about 8 hours during a single session.

PixInsight Workflow

- Calibration and alignment with WeightedBatchPreprocessing

- ChannelCombination for SHO -> RGB

- Image stretched with HistogramTransformation

- Ran AutomaticBackgroundExtraction

- Created color masks for magenta, green, and cyan

- CurvesTransformations for each mask, adjusting colors to taste. Reds down in magenta, blues up in cyan, green down in green. Increased luminance where it was low.

- Created luminance mask from Hydrogen Alpha master

- Ran Convolution on main image to blur prior to Ha luminance masking

- LRGB Combination with Ha luminance mask on main image

- CurvesTransformations on main image, adjusting colors to taste
